Jon Fazzaro"Small teams have coherence for free; the multiplier is uniformly positive there, which is why the loudest agent boosters tend to be small teams, and why they are mostly right about their own context."

Planning Doesn’t Have to Be the Enemy of Agile
Planning was one of the cornerstones of management, but it’s now fallen out of fashion. It seems rigid, bureaucratic, and ill-suited to a volatile, unpredictable world. However, organizations still need some form of planning. And so, universally valuable, but desperately unfashionable, planning waits like a spinster in a Jane Austen novel for someone to recognize her worth. The answer is agile planning, a process that can coordinate and align with today’s agile-based teams. Agile planning also helps to resolve the tension between traditional planning’s focus on hard numbers, and the need for “soft data,” or human judgment.

In this post, I argue that – while #Designers or #Strategists are not expected to fully manage #DesignProjects in their area of responsibility, some #ProjectManagement #skills will prove invaluable for their effectiveness.
